To promote Egypt's touristic destinations & welcome tourists, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities installed in airports of touristic cities, a collection of replica statues of the protective goddess Selket standing extending her arms welcoming visitors.

Selket, also spelled Selqet, or Serqet, in Egyptian mythology, goddess of the dead. Her symbolic animal was the scorpion. She was one of the underworld deities charged with protecting the canopic jar in which the intestines of the deceased were stored after embalming.
